The woman asked about “worship” in general. Jesus answers about worship of “the Father.”
It’s not about “where” Jesus says but “how.” Hebrews 9:1; Acts 17:24-25
What does this say about all OT worship? James 2:10
What is God looking for? Verse 23
First – Worshippers
Second – those who worship in spirit and truth

6. Jesus’ response to the woman’s question about where to worship
John 4:20-24
Regarding true worship:
What had the rulers of the Jews (those who argued for Jerusalem) stripped away from worship by focusing on the outward form and ceremony of worship?
Spirit – Matthew 23:27-28
What had the Samaritans stripped away from worship by combining it with idolatrous practices?
Truth – 2 Kings 17:40
Jesus says true worship requires both!
